Answer: The correct option is C) Nitrogen.

Nitrogen ( N₂) is the most prevalent gas in the atmosphere. It contributes 80% in the atmosphere. It is a highly stable gas because it contains three bonds between the two nitrogen atoms. So, it requires high energy to break these chemical bonds.

Nitrogen is the basic nutrient for the survival of all life forms. It is present in bio-molecules like proteins and DNA.

Nitrogen gas can not be used as such by the plants and animals. Therefore, it is converted into other forms so that plants and animals can utilize it. The process of conversion of N₂ into other biologically available form is termed as Nitrogen fixation.

The relationship between catabolism and anabolism is most similar to the relationship between which of the following pairs of te

MrMuchimi

Answer:

The pair of terms whose relationship is very similar to the relationship between catabolism and anabolism are exergonic and endergonic.

Explanation:

Anabolism and catabolism are processes that occur in matabolism, whose result is different.

Anabolism involves all the processes of manufacture or synthesis, in which chemicals are bound together to form new compounds. This process consumes energy, so it is called endergonic.
Catabolism, unlike anabolism, is the process of degradation of complex molecules into simple molecules. One of the results of catabolism is the release of energy, which is equivalent to saying that it is an exergonic process.

Relating catabolism to anabolism is similar to relating exergonics to endergonics.

The other terms do not represent a similarity with the relationship between the processes of catabolism and anabolism.

Estupefacientes o psicotrópicas productoras de dependencia física o síquica, capaces de provocar graves efectos tóxicos o daños

gladu [14]

Answer:

Drogas.

Explanation:

Las drogas son sustancias que tienen un efecto modificatorio sobre el estado normal de la psique. Por tanto, estas sustancias influyen en el comportamiento o la experiencia del usuario, pudiendo tener un efecto alucinógeno, pero también sedantes o una mixtura entre ambos.

El término se usa generalmente para indicar sustancias que tienen un efecto muy fuerte (por ejemplo, heroína, cannabis, mescalina, alcohol). Aunque los estimulantes cotidianos como el café y el chocolate también pueden tener un efecto en la psique, generalmente no se clasifican como sustancias psicoactivas debido a su efecto relativamente leve.

Los medicamentos que tienen un efecto sobre la psique se denominan psicofármacos. No obstante, los medicamentos que no se clasifican principalmente como psicofármacos, como los antihistamínicos, los agentes anti-mareo y los betabloqueantes, pueden también tener un efecto psicotrópico.

No. At that point, you need to determine if the problem lies in the control or the staining reagents or techniques.
